A blessed evening to all mothers and fathers here!!! This is my first time joining this wonderful community. It felt so natural and comfortable to write a blog when it is about family and most especially about children. And as a mother, I am always excited to write and share about my life of being a mother to my son.🌷💕🌹
MY LIFE BEFORE I BECAME A MOTHER
In my younger years, I used to dedicate everything I do for my family, to my parents and siblings. Even if I hang out with my friends, my priority is always my family. I was not a perfect daughter and sister but the best for them and their happiness is always my goal. During my high school days, when life was not easy, the income of our parents was not enough and my elder siblings were helping us too. I had an illness, severe anemia which made me become weak and not fit for heavy work. But still, I strived hard, seeing my family was not in good condition. I applied for a job. Those times it was hard to get hired by companies if you are a neophyte. So I got a job not related to my course. Because of my health condition, I never plan to have a child or a family of my own. All I wanted was to improve the life status of my family. I am fond of children even before, especially babies hehe! I always borrow some of them from my cousins, so I bought special gifts for them. I spent my earnings on our family's needs, in my mind my younger siblings' education was the most important. Even before I have this motherly instinct and love in me for children. That was why when the time finally came that my unico hijo came into my life it was like a dream come true that was not even in my plan. Truly a blessed gift for me.
WHAT I MISS THE MOST NOW THAT I HAVE A CHILD
A very good question! Honestly none! Hehe!!! God knows how much I enjoyed and still enjoy being a mother! Well, there are things that I can't do this time like before like hanging out with my friends, buying personal things for myself or my siblings and to some of my cousin's nephews, and nieces what I was doing before or going out wherever I want to go, not minding time and money spent there, I love to go to Live band shows. My budget was always for house improvement and food. But it's hard for me to do that now that I have a responsibility for my son. He is my priority.
THE BIGGEST THING I SAW IN ME AFTER HAVING A CHILD
Hehe the biggest thing I saw in me after having a child? I started to dream about life. I become a stronger, happy, more content, and more fulfilled woman💝🌷😇.
REGRET AND WISHES THAT I COULD HAVE DONE BEFORE BEING A PARENT
I enjoyed my life as a helper and co-provider for my family. I never regret what I did for them. If God will put me in the same situation I will still do the same because I did all those sacrifices because of my love for them. I know all that happened was God's plan for me too. The timings and the circumstances, if ever there were mistakes I did I was responsible for that. Maybe, my only regret was that I didn't plan for my future well. But I have a great belief in God's plan for my life. God permits things to happen for every person, for a purpose in his perfect time. Hmmm. I wish I was already financially stable before he came into my life so I can give him all the things that he needed as he came and I also wish I was very healthy because, by the time he came into my life, it was hard for me to carry him in my arms always. After all, I got easily tired.
WHAT DO I WISH I WOULD HAVE KNOWN
Well! I wish I would have known that he will come into my life, maybe I take good care of myself well, made myself healthy, planned well for my future like what I had planned for my family, and made myself financially, emotionally, and physically stable in preparation for his coming.
The best moment of my life is when I became a mother, no other thing can compare to the happiness I felt the first time I saw my son. It seems like my life just started that very moment, I learned to dream and plan for his future despite uncertainties in life! I pray that God will grant me a healthy life so I could give the best care for him, and fulfill his dreams too.
